The Educational Value of Social Media Sites

Social media sites are a great way for educators to communicate to a large group of individuals with one message – students, parents and administrators.  Teachers have the ability to provide information regarding lesson plans, homework and additional information that may come up throughout the assignment.  If a younger group of students are the focus this would be a great place to provide parents with announcements, weekly strategies/discussions and focus.  This is a wonderful way to offer general information and provide changes that may occur for the classroom.  

The social media site I have developed is designed to provide information to prospective college students.  It has a variety of resources to obtain information about issues and events surrounding education.  The resources I have chosen to incorporate into the site give well-rounded, multi-cultural exposure to the understanding of issues, successes and concerns in education.  This information can be used for the reader to discover educational interests and possible career paths.  A comment section has been supplied for reader comments and questions.  This will allow for communication all over the world uncovering many views pertaining to suggested topics.
